I've been going since I was 10, my all time favorite coffee shop! I 100% reccomend going if ur a book worm or even want to hear some nice live music to listen to!

Made a special trip & no vegan pastries today, so better to call 1st 😉

They offer a variety of pour over coffee & blended drinks as well as lattes & regular pastries / pies. I got a latte and a vegan scone, both were just okay. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it but if I’m in the area and need a pick me up I’d stop by again. Prices are cheap and it’s nice they have a few limited options despite seeming to be an old fashioned coffee shop. Staff was helpful & welcoming though checkout / waiting area is a bit small. Indoor seating area seemed cute with board games and it’s located in a bookstore too.

What a super store for food, magazines, music and especially lefty books!

Couldn't ask for a better selection of current magazines. Cafe is warm and inviting with yummy baked goods and drinks, and staff is friendly. No place like it--come see for yourself.

This was probably THE best coffee I've ever had. The peanut butter cookie was delicious, and truffle was very tasty. Hands down, I had a very pleasant visit and will be coming back.

This place is amazing!!! Such a cool and unique spot. Feels like stepping into the 90s or early 2000s. The coffee was great and affordable and the woman behind the counter was sooo sweet. They have magazines, books, live music, handmade chocolates, and so much more!! So cozy. I wish I lived closer and could come by all the time and be a regular.

They really need to dust and wipe down all of the wood racks. So much visible dust and dirt. Too many gun magazines. Well, they have good discounts on clearance books, strong lattes, and free music, though.

Sipping a coffee and nibbling on an apple turnover while checking out a massive selection of magazines. Friendly staff!
